So I have a couple of projects that have been on the backburner since, well, since I started college. These are, in no particular order:
- “The Cerulean Empress,”
- “Moraya Koshka,”
- Jake Morrigan’s story;
rewrites of
- “What to do with a Gun,”
- “The Journal of Brian Ezhno,”
- “The Witches’ Railroad,”
and in 2010 I have to finish or scrap “Beneath the Black Rainbow.” I really need to get to work, unfortunately I left most of my writing materials back in my dorm room., and when I’m back there, well, you know… there’s school work.
With The Cerulean Empress, I’m stuck on this whole wedding thing. Well, the affair too; I’ve never been to a wedding, never had sex, never even experienced the desire to do either of those things. It’ll be hard to translate something I’ve only experienced secondhand, basically from one medium to another.
With Moraya Koshka, I’m just… all out of ideas. It’s really hard to come by historical information from the 1820’s specifically, specifically about sailing conditions. I’ve taken a good many liberties with the history already, I want it to be as accurate as I can possibly make my story. When I get back to campus I’ll probably check the library for some books on that time period. They have to have something, maybe even about Russia.
For Jake Morrigan, I’m stuck on the Madlaina angle; I’m not sure she even fits in the plot anymore, except that I don’t feel like I can leave part six out of the story altogether. I’m still not sure what to do about the title, either. It’s so lame. I might call it Sarabi, but that’s still pretty uncreative.
As far as rewriting, that’s just a hassle.
